BIOL 122 Lecture 17: Biol 122 - 17th Class
Document Summary
All individuals of a single species capable of interbreeding within one space at. Spatial structure: the pattern of density and spacing of individuals within the one time habitat. Proportion of individuals within each age class. Fundamental niche: the range of abiotic conditions under which a species can. Realized niche: the range of abiotic and biotic conditions under which a species persist can exist. Determines the geographic range of a species. Even small variations in abiotic and biotic conditions can greatly restrict a species. Niches can be fundamental or realized depending on how much competition the population experiences. Geographic range: a measure of the total area covered by a population (may actually be patches within a larger area) Fremont"s leather flower actually uses just a small part of its apparent range (limestone glades) The process of determining suitable habitat conditions for a species. Then any other additional but important variable.
